A Pair of Warm Saturn-mass Planets near the 2:1 Mean Motion Resonance around TOI-3850
Sean Collins, Michelle Kunimoto, Nicolas B. Cowan +24
Warm Jupiters, with orbital periods of -- and radii exceeding , are a relatively understudied class of exoplanets occupying the parameter space bet…
The Albedo Problem and Cloud Cover on Hot Jupiters
Kevin Heng, Billy Edwards, Nicolas B. Cowan
Observations of transiting hot Jupiters have revealed a mismatch between the values of the Bond versus geometric albedos. In the planetary science literature, the ratio of these qu…
Seasonal Changes in the Atmosphere of HD 80606b Observed with JWST's NIRSpec/G395H
James T. Sikora, Jason F. Rowe, Jared Splinter +11
High-eccentricity gas giant planets serve as unique laboratories for studying the thermal and chemical properties of H/He-dominated atmospheres. One of the most extreme cases is HD…
Clouds in partial atmospheres of lava planets and where to find them
T. Giang Nguyen, Nicolas B. Cowan, Lisa Dang
With dayside temperatures hot enough to sustain a magma ocean and a silicate atmosphere, lava planets are the best targets to study the atmosphere of a rocky world. In the absence…
